Hi all I got a dewalt FLEXVOLT® 60V MAX* BRUSHLESS CHAINSAW for christmas, and I recently got around to testing it out to see if it worked. But the chain break on it seems to not be working right.When i pull the chain break back toward the trigger it makes a click and then i can start the chain saw but if i let it go it shuts off. The instructions show that I should have to push that forward for that to happen. buts natural state is in the pushed forward state. 

Is this something I can fix or is it a defect?
